Notes of the
Week
...
In a vague sort of way it is understood that the police
have authority to proceed against people who bathe in public
places in an undressed condition.
Thousands do bathe about Sydney and Suburbs, and as no
particular brand of official retribution falls upon them the
powers have apparently taken it for granted that the vagueness
is too thick to penetrate.
A committee was appointed to inspect the foreshores with a
view of selecting sites for public baths, in which the surf
swimmers and beach paddlers might revel without offending the
gaze of decent people.
But the committee reported that all the best sites could be
overlooked, by persons standing on the heights.
The obvious reply to this is that bathers should be
compelled to wear suitable clothing ; but if the clouded
authority of the police cannot compel the offenders to refrain
from offending on the beaches, it is unlikely that it will prove
sufficient in free baths.
Perhaps the Minister for Public Works has evolved a plan
for overcoming all difficulties, for he has taken a party of
visitors round the harbour to pick suitable sites for free
swimming baths.
He may actually contemplate making the guardians of public
decency do their duty, but what ever his plan the Minister
certainly seems to be earnestly bent on removing the reproach
which attaches to Sydney, that with its superior natural
advantages it is worse off for baths than other Australian
cities.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN : HOW A LITTLE DEED GREW.
...
Not many years ago there was a poor and ignorant man who did a
good deed, according to his light.
I do not know his real name ; I doubt if twenty persons outside
of his own acquaintances ever knew it.
I do not know whether the man is still living or not, and if he
is, I am sure that he will not read this ; it is likely that he
never learned to read at all.
I will call the man Jose, because it is a common Brazilian name.
He lived in the city of Fortaleza, capital of the province, now
the state of Ceara ; it is on the Brazilian coast, north of
Pernambuco.
Jose's business was carrying freight and passengers to and from
the vessels which came to Fortaleza.
His principal possession was a raft on which he did the
carrying.
I must explain that Ceara had no harbors ; for three or four
hundred miles the coast is a line of sand beach, without even a
river's mouth large enough for vessels to enter ; so they have
to anchor in open road steads, often two or three miles out.
All the year round the surf breaks on this beach, a wall of
white foam ; and if any body wishes to land or to embark, he
must pass through the surf wall.
To attempt this in a boat would be dangerous
business ; the people have a much better arrangement in the
jangada, or sailing-raft.
This is simply a long, narrow raft, made of jungada wood, which
is almost as light as cork.
Several logs of this wood— from three to seven or eight: — are
firmly lashed together.
The raft is furnished with a mast and sail, and a little stage
like a table, on which passengers stand to keep their feet dry
and to be out of the way of any breaking wave.
The stern is furnished with a long sweep, like a very large
oars, which work on a post to which it is attached ; this is the
rudder.
These rafts will sail as fast as a yacht; and pass through seas
that no boat could long live in.
With a crew that understands its business, they are the safest
craft in the world ; fishermen venture 100 miles out to sea on
them, regardless of storms.
As for the surf, they skim right over it on the crest of a wave
; as soon as they touch the sand the raftsmen drag them high out
of reach of the nest wave.
They will bear heavy freights; all the merchandise that comes to
Ceara is brought ashore on the jangadas, and all that leaves it
is carried out on them to vessels in the roadsteads.
They carry all the passengers, too.
I have tried these queer conveyances more than once, and have a
vivid recollection of passing 50 yards of white foam and
towering waves, and then finding myself high and dry, none the
worse for my adventure.
Jose, then, carried freight and passengers on his raft, when
there were any to carry ; when there were none, he did such odd
jobs of porterage as he could pick up along the beach, or
plaited mats, or lounged and smoked with his comrades.
He had two men to help him on the raft, but so far as as clothes
and manners went, you could not have distinguished captain from
man.
All were dressed in the Ceara peasant fashion ; ragged white
cotton trousers and shirt, the latter . hanging loosely about
the waist, outside the trousers, in blouse fashion ; low,
broad-brimmed leather hats, and sandals instead of shoes.
When vessels were loading or unloading, Jose and his men had
plenty to do.
Five or six times a month a steamer touched at Fortaleza, on its
way to or from Rio de Janeiro.
Then the raftsmen were always busy.
Often there were rich passengers who paid well for themselves
and their baggage.
Then, there were the freight and mails, and almost always a load
of negroes going to the slave markets of Rio de Janeiro and Sao
Paula.

MOANA HOTEL

Location of Hotel.
The location,
situated immediately on the seashose at Waikiki, is Ideal and
could not be improved upon, being at a point that faces the
only place available for surf riding.
This, with the
unexcelled facilities that will be provided for sea bathing,
cannot fail to render it especially attractive to local peoplo
as well as to tourists, and it is safe to assert that every
visitor will spend a portion of his or her time at the
"Moana."
These
conditions, the promoters of the Moana Hotel Co., Ltd.,
believe, assure absolute certainty of financial success to the
enterprise of erecting and operating a strictly modern and
beach hotel.

The heavy
northers expcrienced for several days this week resulted in
such rough weather all along the coast that the local steamers
suspended operations entirely on Tuesday and Wednesday and
sought winter quarters in Hilo bay.
Even here the
surface of the water reminded one of a mill pond chiefly
because it was so different.
At high tide
the lumber of the Hilo Mercantile Company on the makai side of
the yard was threatened and a large force of laborers was
employed for several hours in removing it to a place of
safety.
So heavy a sea
is rarely experienced here and the wharves and water front
were crowded with spectators during the afternoon of
Wednesday.
...
The old
Hawaiian sport of surf-riding has become almost extinct of
late in Hilo.
During the
high sea of the present week it has been revived to some
extent, and on Thursday a considerable number of young
Hawaiians were seen engaged In the favorite pastime of their
ancestors.

Waikiki
It was an ideal day yesterday at Waikiki Bay for the young
athletes, the surf was playfully vicious, over turning some of
the more venture-some canoes and bringing forth manly
strength and endurance to right them and bring them to port.
At the Hotel Annex at least fifty surf boards were in play
at one time while at other points a number of young men under
the leadership of Sam Johnson and Itanior built pyramids,
instituted water tournaments, leap frog, wrestling matches, and
a hundred and one other entertainments for the amusement of the
hundreds of guests and yet no accident happened.

PRECAUTIONS.
Even if there
had been a United States life saving station on this island,
it could have done nothing to help the young man who lost his
life at Makapuu Point.
The life
saving station would most probably be located where there are
the most people going into the water, viz: Waikiki.
When the late
Mr. Uhlbrecht lost his life, is a desolate, out of the way
place seldom visited.
But something
should be done about the bathing and canoeing at Walkikl, or
some of these days there will be an accident.
Where people
know how to swim there is little or no danger save in very
rough weather, but strangers who don't know how to swim are
constantly engaging the native canoes, and there is not a
proper proportion of Hawaiian to passengers.
Some years ago
the writer was at Nilhau, a tremendous surf got up and yet It
was necessary to get to the steamer.
The wife and
children of one of the proprietors had to embark.
To each child,
there were four, was alloted one Hawaiian, to the wife two.
Each man had
his surf board with him.
The surf was
run through all right, but had the boat upset each one of the
family would have been looked-after and have been perfectly
safe, while the crew looked after the boat.
The vessel was
a mile from shore, the six Nilhau men came onboard, had a feed
of poi, and then diving over the vessel's side, merrily swam
ashore again.
The Star would
suggest that two ladies and four Hawaiians should be the
allotment In all canoe surf riding.
It is by no
means too much.

THE EXTREME HOT SPELL THAT HAS GRIPPED
HONOLULU FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS
HAS
MADE THE BEACH AT WAIKIKI A VERY LIVELY SCENE
[Illustration signed R. Yardley, Waikiki.]
The
heat of the last two days drove all of Honolulu to
Waikiki.
The surf has been better than for
months past, and those who know the art of board-riding have had
a fill of it.
Saturday and Sunday were gay scenes
on the beach about the
Hotel Annex.
At one time over 150
heads were counted
bobbing up and down serenely in the waves, and canoeing parties
have been seen in greater numbers than for a long time.
Oddly enough, there has been an
inexplicable dearth of canoeing parties for some months past and
the natives who live by the way of the paddle complain
constantly of lack of patronage.
Charley, the stalwart native whose
figure is immortalized in a thousand kodak pictures, and who his
posed for photographers and painters innumerable, has a big
kick.
He says, like Othello, his
occupation is gone, and that what was once dollars were not rare
from the pockets of
tourists and artists, now quarters would be
gladly welcomed.
He says that folks
prefer to lie in the sand and talk rather than enjoy the noblest
sport that has survived the coming of the haole.
Charley tells the story of the big
tidal wave of some scores of years ago, memories of which were
still fresh in his childhood, when a native rode a sixty-foot
wave a quarter of a mile to shore and landed safe without ever
splintering his board.
Charley says that a dollar is not
too much to pay for a canoe ride, and that if he charged less he
wouldn't be able to keep the canoe in repair and his stomach
filled with poi.
Others, however, differ with
Charley, and think that a half dollar charge for each passenger
would make canoeing much more popular.
Canoeing is gaining a foothold in
embryo at Narragansett
Pier and other Atlantic watering places.
At the former resort the surfboard
has come well into favor and the New York papers last summer
commented freely and favorably upon
the sport.
The novelty was undoubtedly
introduced by someone familiar with the Hawaiian surfing custom,
who probably found the big rollers of the Atlantic
Coast peculiarly adapted for rising upon their crests.
Canoes were then talked of, and no
doubt another season will find canoes of the Hawaiian type much
in vogue at the swell watering resorts.

What
one sees at Waikiki may not all be told.
The man who takes a bench on the
beach and watches the thron (sic) in the water finds much to
study.
Take the fat man!
He is not ashamed of his flesh and
gives lessons in unobtrusiveness to the dudes who stride the
sands to show their shapes.
The fat man is always at home in the
waves.
It always knows how to swim well,
and once on the breaker his avoirdupois serves greatly to
enhance his comfort.
Who ever saw a skinny chap who could
float like the 300-pounder who, serene upon
his back, bids defiance to the buffets of the tides, and sleeps
calmly half out of water?
The artist has pictured the fat man,
cigar and fan in hand, a bottle of soda floating near by
attached to his belt, and the sea serpent looking on in
admiration.
The canoers, who, striped in black
and red, make a big fuss of the launching of their craft and
assure their ladies there is positively no danger in the sport
while they are along, afford no end of fun to the onlookers.
The fact is that the two or three
natives who accompany the parties do all the work, and the natty
gentlemen, who work with pen and ink during the week, are
mere feeble paddlers who make motions for their sweethearts
regard and impede the boat's progress but a trifle.
The amateur on the surfboard is a
funny sight.
His frantic struggles to emulate the
example of the old timer, who moves onto the beach ahead of the
wave, are ludicrous indeed, and his pretensions to those ashore
that he does not care to ride further than the few feet he does
are nonsensical.
The artist has portrayed faithfully
the sights of the Waikiki resorts and only those who suffer by
caricature will deny his art.

AFTERNOON IN NEW AMERICA
THE "Hawaiian
Islands" was the interesting subject of the sixth and last of
the Burton Holmes series, given at the Columbia Theater
yesterday afternoon.
A larger
audience than any that has yet attended this series turned out
to hear the vivid and picturesque description of this late
acquisition to the United States and wore wholly delighted
with the treatment accorded the subject.
If a lack may
be noted it is in the scarcity of the volcano pictures, but
for the rest— and Mr. Holmes was there during the annexation
period— the splendid festivals of welcome to our soldiers, the
coffee plantations, sugarcane districts, the delightful surf
bathing (motion pictures), the picturesque natives and some
excellent portraits of Princess Kaiulani — one a moving
picture in the surf — a sufficient all-round notion of our new
possessions was easily and delightfully acquired.
The lecture
will be repeated on Sunday evening.

Cloth bound
$1. G. W. Dillingham Co..Publishers, New

This is the 23d volume of the "Albatross Novels."
It is a story
of Honolulu and Japan, in which the daughter of a "Sugar King"
succeeds in marrying the man of her choice in spite of the
ambition of a purse-proud mother to connect the family through
her with the European aristocracy.
Carl Muller,
the hero, is a sturdy type of rugged honesty, and well
deserves the happiness that comes to him at last.
Amy Van
Steuben, the "Princess," is a loveable girl, wholly natural,
the idol of her unspoiled, though millionaire, father.
A vein of
mystery which runs through the novel is satisfactorily cleared
up at the close.
Interesting
descriptions of life in Japan and the Hawaiian Islands add to
the readable quality of the tale and give it a brilliant
setting.

SOCIETY
The bathing girl is a most attractive
creature.
Here she is in her glory, for here are so many devices just
made for her pert coquetries.
The surf board is not to be despised by her in this
category and many are the charming poses she assumes in a vain
endeavor to conquer the most difficult of sports.
In her up to date bathing costume of black silk, and the
most abbreviated skirt imaginable, and hair in picturesque
confusion, with tiny sandals on her pretty feet, she is a
creature to look at and adore.
The swimming girl is an entirely different creature, just
as attractive in her way.
She does not wear a skirt to hamper the limbs, and if she
does wear one before the eyes of the assembled multitude, she
calmly takes it off before going into the water, for bathing to
her is real work and not play.
Her hair is securely confined under a rubber cap.
If she is from afar hut our Honolulu lasses let their
tresses fly to the breeze, and surely it is far prettier tho I
doubt it being good for the hair.
How hard it is for some people to swim!
And yet one of the greatest swimming teachers said not long
since: "Any girl can swim, learning if she can only overcome her
fear of the water. Swimming ought to come as naturally to the
human race as to animals, and it would if people weren't so
awfully afraid of getting their feet wet.
I can tell in a minute whether a person will ever swim or
not by just watching the way he or she gets into the water.
You know there are some people who go in by just putting a
toe down and saying and taking it out again as if a crab had
nipped it.
Well, those people will never learn to swim, not even if
they try all their lives.
I know, because I've worked with them.
I've tried coaxing, I've tried scolding, I have tried
shaming them by pretending I despise cowardice, I've even tried
heroic measures and abandoned them suddenly to their own
resources in deep water.
No use.
The first thing, open come their mouths down they go and
they'd drown in simple panic if I didn't drag them out."
That is probably the reason why some people can never, never be
taught to swim.
I notice children swim almost at once.
You can make them jump off a diving board and they never
sink.
But you can never teach them to swim properly.
They will always swim "dog-fashion" as long as they are
children.
When they grow up you can teach them the other strokes very
easily.
The little Hawallans are past masters in the art of
swimming, and it is always a pleasure to watch the graceful
movements in the water.

HONOLULUS
DOWN THE COLLEGE BOYS
The Iolanis and Honolulus played football under Association
Rules at Makiki on Saturday afternoon before an appreciative
garnering.
The -play proved of a very good order and the teams are
rapidly showing better form and each encounter proves a
distinct, advance over its predecessor.
...
Freeth is improving but does not appear to know me game.
Practice and determination will make a good player of him.

SCOTS DO THE
TRICK
Cosmopolitans
Laid Out at Association Ball.
The football match between the Caledonlans and Cosmopolitans was
played under Association rules at Makiki Saturday afternoon.
The contending teams were probably the strongest which
could be brought together here, and the resulting game showed
much advance over the preceding ones, both in combined and
individual display.
The play was fast throughout and at no time was the
interest of the spectators allowed to flag.
...
Final result: SCOTLAND, 4. COSMOPOLITANS, 1.
The teams were as follows:
Cosmopolitans: Goal, Freeth; backs, Soper and Edwards;
halves, Andrews, Blackman and Stokes; forwards...

Association
Football.
The game between Catten & Neil's eleven and the Honolulu
Iron Works should also be closely fought.
I predict a victory for the first named team by a narrow margin.
The possession of two such fine players as Soper and Anderson
strengthens the team won-well represented in Messrs. Kay,
Smithies, Bolter and Freeth.

COOGEE.
Yesterday was
a glorious seaside day, and the crowds at Coogee showed at any
rate that its popularity was not on the wane.
The children
were paddling and surf-bathing to their hearts' content on the
beach.
The ladies'
and gentlemen's swimming basins and the aquarium baths had
more than their usual share of patrons in consequence of the
warmth of the day.
Family groups
and picnic parties were scattered everywhere, and the merry
go-round did not stop from early morn till late at night. The
tram service ...

in the morning was hardly sufficient, and the engine-drivers
had to whistle through a good many stopping places.
